Q8: Who thrives in industry?
People who thrive in this industry have to have a certain level of curiosity about the industry itself. This applies to the coaching industry as a whole, not just tech versus construction.
They need to be curious about people, what they want, and where they want to go. This curiosity should drive them to dig deep and ask the right questions to understand their clients' aspirations and how to help them achieve those goals.
Furthermore, you have to be a people person. If you're unable to connect with others, coaching will be extremely difficult. That connection with people is huge, just like curiosity is. And as I mentioned earlier, listening is critical.
